> I've got a Leaf that I've had for almost 2 years
Isn't the Leaf known for poor battery temperature management? This causes the battery perform way worse over time than other EVs. A battery performing way poorer over time is a common fear that I've noticed. If someone notices this and doesn't know it's unique (caused by manufacturer not doing enough) then I'd expect some Leaf-owning people to dislike EVs.
The huge price difference between charging an EV at home vs anywhere else is why I dislike an EV. Though I actually do not dislike EVs, I dislike the price difference.
The Leaf doesn't have active cooling. From what I understand, charging up to 80% instead of full except on long trips prevents any thermal issues. I've got a 230 mile range, so 80% is not an issue for me for daily driving. I will say that the max capacity meter hasn't yet gone below 1.0 after nearly 2 years.
Every Nissan dealership around me has free Leaf-only supercharging, and there's also a few superchargers around the Twin Cities that just cost the price of parking (e.g. ~$1/h). Other than that, every Goodwill has a supercharger that costs some actually metered amount of money.
